Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of printing, in particular to a thermal transfer roller module structure. Background Art

[0002] Thermal transfer printing involves printing a pattern or text onto heat-resistant adhesive tape or film, then transferring it to the surface of a finished material through heat and pressure. This technology is widely used for the decoration and customization of various materials, offering advantages such as high print quality, vibrant colors, and strong adhesion. Thermal transfer technology is primarily based on the principle of thermal sublimation, whereby a substance changes directly from a solid to a gaseous state (sublimation) when heated, thereby transferring the pattern or text to the target material. During this process, the dye in the ink layer sublimates and penetrates the surface or interior of the target material, forming a durable pattern layer.

[0003] To improve thermal transfer efficiency, a roller module structure is often used to transport printed items. However, while the existing roller module structure can transport multiple printed items, it lacks a correction device, making it easy for printed items to shift during transport. This can cause the printed items transported by the roller module structure to no longer fall within the working range of the thermal transfer setting, requiring manual alignment by staff. This not only affects the thermal transfer efficiency but also the intelligent effect of the equipment, thus failing to meet production needs. Therefore, a thermal transfer roller module structure is proposed to address the above-mentioned issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a thermal transfer roller module structure, which has the advantages of good transportation effect and solves the problem that printed items are easily offset during transportation.

[0006] The detection structure includes a gantry fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the frame and a correction sensor fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the gantry;

[0009] Furthermore, the number of the deviation-correcting plate, the guide plate and the connecting piece is two, and the guide plate is arranged in an inclined shape.

[0010] Furthermore, the telescopic electric cylinder is a dual-axis telescopic electric cylinder, and the two connecting members are respectively connected to the two output ends of the telescopic electric cylinder and the two correcting plates.

[0011] Furthermore, there are two frames, the roller is rotatably installed between the two frames, and connecting ribs are welded between the two frames. Limiting seats are installed on the upper surfaces of the two frames, and the two connecting rods pass through the inside of the two limiting seats.

[0012] Furthermore, a rolling structure is provided inside the deviation-correcting plate, and the rolling structure includes a roller and an anti-slip pad sleeved and installed on the outer surface of the roller.

The side of the abutment plate away from the correction plate is connected to the end of the connecting rod.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a thermal transfer roller module structure with the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The thermal transfer roller module structure uses a correction sensor for position detection. When the processed items deviate, the two correction plates are displaced by the telescopic electric cylinder. Combined with the installation of the roller, its rotation can generate a certain lateral thrust, helping the conveyor belt to automatically return to the center position and achieve correction, thereby achieving the advantage of good transportation effect and solving the problem of easy deviation of printed items during transportation.

[0017] 2. The thermal transfer roller module structure installs a rotating roller on the correction plate, and its rotation can generate a certain lateral thrust to help the conveyor belt automatically return to the center position to achieve correction. At the same time, it can reduce the wear of the thermal transfer roller module structure during the correction process and extend the service life of the thermal transfer roller module structure.

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 2 A thermal transfer roller module structure includes a thermal transfer roller module structure, the thermal transfer roller module structure includes a support frame 1, a frame 2 welded to the upper surface of the support frame 1, and a roller 4 rotatably mounted on the frame 2. A detection structure is provided at the right end of the frame 2, and the detection structure includes a gantry 5 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the frame 2 and a correction sensor 6 fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the gantry 5.

[0025] In order to cooperate with the detection structure, a correction mechanism is provided on the frame 2; the correction structure includes a mounting base 7 fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the frame 2, a telescopic electric cylinder 8 fixedly mounted on the mounting base 7, a correction plate 9 provided above the frame 2, a guide plate 10 fixedly connected to one side of the correction plate 9, and a connector fixedly mounted on the output end of the telescopic electric cylinder 8 and connected to the correction plate 9. The connector consists of a connecting block 11 and a connecting rod 12. The output end of the telescopic electric cylinder 8 is connected to the bottom side of the connecting block 11, and the two ends of the connecting rod 12 are respectively connected and fixed to the top side of the connecting block 11 and the correction plate 9. The thermal transfer roller module structure transports the processed items and performs position detection through the correction sensor 6. When the processed items deviate, the two correction plates 9 are displaced by the telescopic electric cylinder 8 to help the items automatically return to the center position to achieve correction.

[0026] Specifically, there are two deflection correction plates 9, two guide plates 10, and two connecting pieces. The guide plates 10 are arranged at an angle. The telescopic cylinder 8 is a dual-axis telescopic cylinder, with two connecting pieces connected to the two output ends of the telescopic cylinder 8 and the two deflection correction plates 9, respectively. There are two frames 2, and the roller 4 is rotatably mounted between the two frames 2. Connecting ribs 3 are welded between the two frames 2. Limiting seats 13 are installed on the upper surfaces of both frames 2, and two connecting rods 12 extend through the interior of each limiter seat 13.

[0027] The guide plate 10 is tilted to better guide the items for transportation.

[0028] Example 2:

[0029] See also Figure 3 Based on the first embodiment, the guiding plate 9 is provided with a rolling structure inside. The rolling structure includes a roller 15 and an anti-slip pad 16 mounted on the outer surface of the roller 15. The guiding plate 9 has a mounting groove 14 formed inside, and the roller 15 is rotatably mounted in the mounting groove 14. There are multiple rollers 15.

[0030] In this embodiment, an elastic member is provided between the correction plate 9 and the connecting rod 12, and the elastic member includes an abutment plate 17, a reset spring 18 fixedly installed between the abutment plate 17 and the correction plate 9, and a guide rod 19 fixedly installed on the side of the correction plate 9 close to the reset spring 18 and passing through the inside of the abutment plate 17. The side of the abutment plate 17 away from the correction plate 9 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 12.

[0031] The return spring 18 surrounds the guide rod 19. The installation of the return spring 18 makes the correction plate 9 elastic, preventing damage to the object during the correction process. At the same time, the guide rod 19 can guide and limit the correction plate 9, allowing it to move stably and improve the correction effect. The roller 15 extends to the outside of the installation groove 14 to contact the object.

[0032] In addition, through the installation of the roller 15, its rotation can generate a certain lateral thrust, which helps the object to automatically return to the center position and realize the correction. At the same time, it can reduce the wear of the thermal transfer roller module structure during the correction process and extend the service life of the thermal transfer roller module structure. The rotation of the roller 15 also helps to reduce the friction between the thermal transfer roller module structure and the frame 2, thereby reducing noise and energy consumption.

[0033] The above technical solution can better cooperate with the correction mechanism to correct the objects, thereby achieving the advantage of good transportation.

[0034] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0035] During use, the thermal transfer roller module structure transports the processed items and detects the position through the correction sensor 6. When the processed items deviate, the two correction plates 9 are displaced by the telescopic electric cylinder 8, and then combined with the installation of the roller 15, its rotation can generate a certain lateral thrust to help the items automatically return to the center position to achieve correction. At the same time, it can reduce the wear of the thermal transfer roller module structure during the correction process and extend the service life of the thermal transfer roller module structure. The rotation of the roller 15 also helps to reduce the friction between the thermal transfer roller module structure and the frame 2, thereby reducing noise and energy consumption.
